WRRC Brown Bag - WaterSMART Grant Program Offerings

Monday, September 18, 2017 - 12:00pm

Water is our most precious natural resource and is increasingly stressed by the demands our society places on it. Adequate water supplies are an essential element in human survival, ecosystem health, energy production, and economic sustainability.

The Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow (WaterSMART) Program allows Bureau of Reclamation to work with States, Tribes, local governments, and non-governmental organizations to pursue a sustainable water supply for the Nation through administration of grants, scientific studies, technical assistance, and scientific expertise on the efficient use of water, integrating water and energy policies to support the sustainable use of all natural resources, and coordinating the water conservation activities of the various Interior offices. This presentation will focus on the grants offered by Reclamation through the WaterSMART Program.
